Sale of Authentication division

De La Rue plc (LSE: DLAR) ("De La Rue", the "Group" or the "Company") announces that all conditions to the exercise of options granted under the put and call agreement entered into by its subsidiary, De La Rue Holdings Limited ("De La Rue Holdings") and CA-MC Acquisition UK Limited ("CA-MC"), a subsidiary of Crane NXT, Co. (together with CA-MC, "Crane NXT") on 15 October 2024 for the sale of the Group's Authentication division have now been satisfied or waived. As a result, De La Rue Holdings and Crane NXT have now entered into the share purchase agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") relating to the sale of the Authentication division, as contemplated in the announcement of the proposed sale on 15 October 2024 (the "Sale Announcement"). Further details of Share Purchase Agreement are set out in the Sale Announcement and the sale of the Authentication division is now expected to complete on 1 May 2025.

On completion of the Share Purchase Agreement, an amount of £300m will be payable by Crane NXT to De La Rue Holdings in cash, of which £15m (being 5% of the enterprise value) is to be held in escrow for up to 18 months post completion, £30m is to be paid to the trustee of the Group's defined benefit pension scheme by way of an accelerated deficit repair contribution and a portion of the cash consideration is to be applied to repay the Group's revolving credit facility in full, each as described in the Sale Announcement. The consideration will also be subject to a customary post-completion adjustment mechanism to reflect a debt-free, cash-free normalisation of the working capital position, as described in the Sale Announcement.

Formal Sale Process

Further to the Formal Sale Process announcement of 4 February 2025, the Company continues to be in discussions that may or may not result in possible cash offers for the Company or possible cash offers from various potential counterparties in relation to the Group's Currency division. A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

None of my trades appear on Level2 at the time of trading. Turns out my broker is using '​EUDARK' which is a designation used by certain brokerage platforms to indicate that a trade has been executed on a European dark pool. Dark pools are private trading venues that facilitate the exchange of securities without pre-trade transparency, primarily to allow institutional investors to execute large orders with minimal market impact. In these venues, details such as order size and price are not disclosed publicly until after the trade is completed, which helps in reducing information leakage and potential price movements unfavorable to the investor.

The term "EUDARK" does not refer to a specific trading venue but rather serves as a generic label for trades conducted on any European dark pool. For instance, some brokerage platforms may display "EUDARK" in trade reports to signify that a particular transaction was executed through a European dark pool. This practice helps investors identify the nature and venue of their trades, especially when trades are routed through various execution channels to achieve optimal pricing and minimal market impact.​

In summary, EUDARK is a term used to denote trades executed on European dark pools, which are private trading venues designed to facilitate large transactions with reduced market visibility

The upshot is that I can acquire shares below that which is shown on Level 2, albeit by 1 or 1.5p

So therefore I can only suggest that if you want to trade DLAR shares ask your broker about utilising dark polls for this company.

This is the first time I have (knowingly) utilised this facility

A microcosm of the inertia within UK mid-caps with De La Rue's update. Since September, the order book has jumped from £252m to £347m, there's significantly higher growth than guided in November and there are ongoing discussions which may lead to cash offers- plural.
The share price: unchanged at 121.5p!
Unless we see capital reallocated to UK companies, many more bids for UK plc are inevitable. Our price target for De La Rue has been 150p but with today's update and the potential for a bidding war, that may prove to be conservative.

8 million is about 4%, which is what the Thursday-dated Form 8.3 declared. They are down to 6 65% of DLAR voting shares.

I agree with TAS above, that's what CRS are doing. If Morphic Med is worth what their NAV statements say, it makes sense to use any spare cash to buy back their own shares. It would be unwise if someone wanted to make a £1.50 offer on DLAR, but CRS aren't going to wait. (It doesn't mean it won't happen, just not in CRS's time frame.)

CRS probably see higher upside on Morphic Medical than on DLAR at this point in time so they are using proceeds from DLAR sales to buy back their own shares in anticipation of a MM payday

I hold both DLAR and CRS. CRS's entry price on DLAR is such that I think they will take an exit at 120p rather than gamble getting 150p - or having to wait a lot longer. Remember CRS are being forced by activist investors to liquidate (slowly).

It's looking increasingly likely given the share price

The share price is not a guide to the likely chance of a bid.

M&A code if anyone is interested. It’s a bit long winded but worth a read.
The activity in the market may force DLR to reveal the interested parties.

3.5 Secrecy, announcements, offer periods and the "put up or shut up" rule

Before any public announcement of a bid, the Takeover Code requires absolute secrecy. The object of this rule is to avoid the risk of a false market. Agreed code names should therefore always be used for all parties in place of their real names from the moment any takeover is under consideration. Advisers are required to warn their clients of the utmost importance of maintaining secrecy. The Takeover Code requires a bid to be put forward, in the first instance, to the board of the target. The identity of the bidder must be disclosed.

A number of provisions of the Takeover Code apply only during an "offer period". This is the period starting from the first announcement of a bid or of a possible bid until either (i) all announced bids and potential bids have lapsed or been withdrawn or (ii) the bid has completed. The fact that the first announcement will commence an offer period makes the timing of this announcement particularly important.

An announcement is required by the Takeover Code:

when a firm intention to make a bid is notified to the target board by or on behalf of a bidder, irrespective of the target board's attitude to the bid;
when a person acquires an interest in shares which takes their aggregate interests to 30% or more and they are obliged to make a mandatory bid (see 4.4);
when, following an approach by or on behalf of a potential bidder to the target board, there is rumor and speculation or an untoward (generally 5% or more) movement in the target's share price;
when, after a potential bidder first actively considers a bid but before an approach has been made to the target board, the target is the subject of rumor and speculation or there is an untoward movement in its share price and there are reasonable grounds for concluding that it is the potential bidder's actions (whether through inadequate security or otherwise) which have led to the situation;
when negotiations or discussions are about to be extended beyond a very restricted number of people, i.e., outside those who need to know in the companies concerned and their immediate advisers; or
when a purchaser is being sought for an interest, or interests, in shares carrying in aggregate 30% or more of the voting rights of a company or when the board of a company is seeking one or more potential bids, and:
the company is the subject of rumor and speculation or there is an untoward movement in its share price; or
the number of potential purchasers or bidders approached is about to be increased to include more than a very restricted number of people.
Before a potential bidder approaches the target board, the potential bidder is responsible for making any required announcement. Following an approach to the target board, the target will be responsible for making any required announcement unless it has unequivocally rejected any approach (in cases of doubt, the Panel should be consulted).

Such an announcement (known as a "possible offer announcement") need only be a short announcement stating, for example, that the target has received an approach "which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the company". However, any announcement by the target must disclose the identity of all potential bidders who have approached it, unless such approach has been unequivocally rejected, and will specify a 28-day "put up or shut up" deadline by which the potential bidder must clarify its intentions either by stating that it won't make a bid or by making a firm intention announcement committing it to launch a formal bid. This is known as a "2.7 announcement" as it is pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Takeover Code. While the possible offer announcement could go into more detail, e.g., in respect of the terms of the bid, there may be consequences of doing so under the Takeover Code, e.g., the bidder may be held to those terms, and careful thought will need to be given to the wording and consequences of any announcement.

A potential bidder can generally avoid making an announcement when there is rumor or speculation regarding its intentions by stopping active consideration of the bid (subject to Panel dispensation, which is usually granted). The potential bidder may thereafter not actively consider making a bid for the target for a period of six months, except in certain limited circumstances. However, the Panel can still require an announcement to be made if rumor or speculation continues in relation to the potential bidder.

Once a 2.7 announcement of a firm intention to make a bid has been made, a bidder must (unless it obtains Panel consent to do otherwise) proceed with the bid and publish the full and detailed offer document within 28 days after that announcement.However, the offer document can only be published within the 14 days following the 2.7 announcement if the target board consents to this.

A person making a statement that they do not intend to make a bid will normally be bound by that statement for a period of six months. This is often referred to as a "2.8 statement" as it is subject to Rule 2.8 of the Takeover Code. Any such statement must be clear and unambiguous. It is essential that parties involved in making public bids are aware of this principle
